UEFA decide Champions League qualification 'will be decided on sporting merit' if Premier League season can't be finished... meaning Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal could all miss out on points-per-game

UEFA have decided that if top European leagues are unable to finish due to the coronavirus crisis, then next season's European places will be chosen on 'sporting merit', it has been reported.

This would mean a points-per-game tally, according to The Times, which would secure a Champions League spot next season for the Premier League's current top four of Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester and Chelsea.

UEFA's decision would see Manchester United and Wolves take the Europa League places, while Arsenal and Tottenham would miss out on European football entirely if the current Premier League season is unable to be completed.
